SCAMS, FRAUDS & FAKERS

Dear John, I mean James, I mean Miserable Person,
They say Misery loves company…
I got a notice in my email today of a
“review” on GoodReads that wasn’t a review but a passive-aggressive
complaint by someone (you) who was apparently suspended from my forum.
It had nothing to do with my book and was purely a character
assassination. This was news to me; I hadn’t heard anything about it and
hadn’t received any emails from anyone who was suspended so the
complaint was really coming out of left field.
That is, until I looked into it.

I discovered that one of my moderators had suspended someone (you) and you are the same person who had recently been refunded in full, 3 months after you had access to the course material, for a course you never showed up for. Not one post, not one word to me or anyone else. I had forgotten you were even a student…easy to do when you have as many students as I do and you don’t ever show up for class and never turn in any assignments. I searched all of my email addresses to locate all these messages you supposedly sent and I didn’t find any attempted correspondence. Unless you used a different email address and a different name, I never received any emails from you. I even checked my cell phone for messages and nothing there. All of my students are given my cell phone number so they can call or text with any questions or concerns. Nothing from you. I had no idea you were so unhappy.

Breaking out the violin

I’ve been here before – for some reason,
there have been a few folks in the past couple of years who have trouble
moving on and go out of their way to “get back” at me for some
perceived slight. Whatever. Misery loves company.
And here you come along, reading fake
reports written about me by an unhappy ex-associate and decide to jump
on the bandwagon. In fact, you have been going all over the internet
posting fake reviews – well, pretty much the same one under different
names – because you are apparently upset at having been kicked off a
forum. Which, I didn’t do, but I am very glad at this juncture that you
were.
This kind of response to a forum issue or
course issue is cowardly. Nowhere do you use your real name, so you get
to do it anonymously, even though I know who you are. You get to lie
and say you didn’t get a refund when in fact you did. You say I ripped
you off $100.00 when the class you took is half that much. In fact, not
only did you get a refund, you filed a chargeback with your credit card
company two weeks AFTER getting the refund in an attempt to collect
twice from me. Of course, there is a record of the refund and the
chargeback was denied and you are now on Paypal’s watch list for
attempted fraud. So, who is the scammer here? Am I missing something?
Usually,
it is people who are miserable with their lives and
with themselves that go to such lengths to seek revenge for a delusion.
Normal people don’t go to such lengths. Even the most difficult of
customers move on after they get their money back. Abnormal people don’t
because they cannot. They are pathological. They project their own
stuff onto their target and go on and on and on and on and on and on and
on….until someone or something new diverts their attention.
My question is this: Since when did
getting kicked off of a forum reason to go all over the internet and
claim victim? I’ve been kicked off of forums before, I’ve been not
allowed to join forums…so what? I’m not going to go all over the
internet posting hateful comments and lies about the forum owner! Even
when the reasoning is misguided…it is no reason to spread that kind of
negative energy.
Now, I have a policy of no refunds for
courses taken and that is because a person can pay for a course,
download all the material and then do like you did and claim some sort
of who-knows-what-because-you-never-told-me and ask for a refund. But we
gave you a refund anyway…3 months after you were admitted to the
course…just to go out of our way to be accommodating. And this is the
thanks I get. Frankly, it feels like a setup.
And then, there is a final comment you
make disrespecting my heritage and poking fun at my religion. “Put that
in your peace pipe and smoke it.” Really? That’s original.

Well, my new little hater, who according to Freud must have a penis the size of a chihuahua's dew claw, you really got me. I’m running and hiding and I’m shaking in my boots. Oh, wait, I’m barefoot. And honey, if I put your words in my “peace pipe” all of your lies would go straight up to Creator and then you would really have a problem. Cause God don’t like ugly. Or so they say. By the way, I am not 57. That was a lie written about me in the now infamous revenge letter written on one of those scam sites where everyone goes and acts like they’re in high school. Not that there is anything wrong with being 57, I’m sure it is a lovely age and Goddess willing, I will be there in a few years. I am 53, and the picture on my blog is not a fake. Haven’t you heard? Creole don’t crack. I have good genes. Thank you Mom and Dad. How old are you? Twelve? If you are unhappy with me, either contact me like an adult and let’s discuss it, or move on. I can easily be reached through my website. At the top of the page on every page there is a button that says “Contact” – it is there for a reason. I have not cut you off or blocked your emails…you are welcome to contact me. But if you plan to contact me to carry on with your drama, don’t. Save it for your mama. Sincerely, Denise Alvarado (also, haters, please check your spelling…if you are going to diss me, at least spell my name right)
